2013 Annual Report now available

(Ottawa)—The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) has released its 2013 Annual Report. The report is listed on the agenda of the July 28 meeting of the Ottawa Police Services Board.

“The report serves as an accessible community resource highlighting the successes and challenges of the OPS in 2013,” said Chief Charles Bordeleau. “It features some of the stories behind the statistics related to crime and policing in Ottawa and is available online.”

This year’s Annual Report has been released with the 2013 Crime, Police and Traffic Statistics Report – city-wide and by City ward. The information provides residents and visitors with a better understanding of crime and road safety in Ottawa.

Together, the reports offer an overview of police activities and initiatives, as well as crime and performance statistics for last year.

Highlights for 2013 are as follows:

  • The number of criminal code offenses (level of crime) declined by 11% in the past year or 4,000 fewer incidents.
    • 32,500 reported Criminal Code of Canada offences in the City of Ottawa.
    • The report shows an increase in violent crime of 10%.  However, this increase is largely attributed to a procedural change in how officers code and clear partner-related assaults. This has affected the year over year comparison. Incidents of assault reported to the OPS declined by 6 percent.
    • Solvency rate for total Criminal Code offences (excluding traffic) remained at 38 percent of all cases solved across the City

 

  • There were nine homicides in 2013 as compared to seven homicides in 2012.
    • Solvency rate for the most serious offence type of 122% due to charges laid in cold case files.

 

  • Break and Enter offences last year declined by 20%.
    • 2,210 reported Break and Enters
    • Solvency rate of break and enters has risen by over three percentage points in the past three years from 24 to 27%.

 

  • The number of calls received and entered into the OPS dispatch system declined by five percent to 354,450 calls for service.
    • Decline was primarily driven by 9-1-1 calls determined to be non-emergencies, and handled through Alternative Response.

“Ottawa is a safe city and we are always looking for ways to improve service to residents,” added Chief Charles Bordeleau. “I am so proud of the commitment and dedication of our members who work every day to keep residents safe.”
